you have free will. so you can make bad choise. as anyone else can.(it how you deal with it) like jesus kept loving and teaching.(to the insults of others etc)
what is spiritual growth got to do with a basic prayer, and asking for the correct things.
[SUP]1 You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified?2 This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?3 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?4 Did you suffer so many things in vain--if indeed it was in vain?5 So then, does He who provides you with the Spirit and works miracles among you, do it by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?
[SUP]16 "This is the covenant that I will make with them
After those days, says the Lord:
I will put My laws upon their heart,
[SUP]2 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
[/SUP]And on their mind I will write them,"
He then says,
17 "And their sins and their lawless deeds
did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?3 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the fleshI will remember no more."
18 Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin.
[/SUP]speculation in given an accout
Everyone, including me, may have to give an account now, to our LORD JESUS CHRIST, before HE returns to separate us goats and sheep. Let us all not carry on in our childish manner and fooling one another in our disguise to be great in the word of GOD. (your quote)
if your following in faith, you seem to want the right to be accoutable.[/SUP]
[SUP]5 "We are Jews by nature and not sinners from among the Gentiles;16 nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified.17 But if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves have also been found sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? May it never be!18 For if I rebuild what I have once destroyed, I prove myself to be a transgressor.19 For through the Law I died to the Law, so that I might live to God.20 I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly."

What you have quoted is taken out of context and anyone can believe they are saved. Yes indeed, for GOD have promised us eternal life, but also other Scripture, teaches us there is a work out to done according to words and love of LORD JESUS CHRIST here on earth, according to the New Covenant Spiritual sound doctrine knowledge of he HOLY SPIRIT.

what was miss quoted in my part, so just seem to be talking about being accountable, when its clear, we are not. if you follow in faith
[SUP]even to those who believe in His name,
2 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
